GB££N THUMB (jordoa SmitK h Water Well When Transplanting In moving plants from one loca- tion to another, whether it is a tiny flower from pot or flat, or a ten- foot maple tree, the same rules apply. The main thing is to guard against the roots getting dried out. Keep them moist and expose to the air as little as possible. K\\ plants should be set in the earth a little deeper each time moved. Soil, which should be as rich and fine as pos- sible, is pressed firmly about the roots. If at all possible water well soon after transplanting, and in the case of big shrubs or trees keep the soil moist for a few weeks. With small things like bed- ding plants a little shade for the first few days will help, and if pos- sible do the transplanting in the evening or on a cloudy day. Young trees should be staked to permit roots to get firmly established. Don't Let Them Stand Still Ouick, unchecked growth is the real secret of tender vegetables and it is possible to grow them quickly anywhere in Canada if just a little care is given. In the first place one must have good seed and of varieties that are suitable to local conditions. Next, the vegetable garden should be thoroughly cultivated or dug, then the seed planted according to di- rections on the packet. Spacing is important as crowded plants never have a chance to develop quickly. Cultivation once a week wilt usually be sufficient itself to keep growth coming along even in the driest weather. If a hose is available, how- ever, that will be another safeguard. A little chemical fertilizer applied carefully and according to direc- tions IS also advisable. ♦ * * No Hurry One can dig or cultivate soil too soon in the spring or too soon after a heavy shower. If stirred up while still really wet, heavy soil is liable to bake into lumps as hard as brick. And it doesn't do a bit of good, and it may cause some harm, to cultivate even light loam while it is wet. 1 Technical people have various scientific tests for determining whe- ther it is safe to cultivate, but the old gardener simply takes a walk around. If the soil is muddy and sticks to his boots then he finds other jobs indoors. But if the soil is damp but doesn't squeeze tightly together it is just right to cultivate. And this rule holds good whether the winter snow^s have just gone or after a heavy summer shower. STERILE CORN While they were in Peru, R. A. Emerson and F. D. Richey found a few corn stalks that produced only sterile pollen. Studies made in this country showed that the plants had inherited their sterile char- acteristics. University of Wisconsin scientists are now developing the discovery. A new and more disease- resistant corn may be the outcome, a corn which will not need costly and laborious detasseling. In breed- ing hybrid corn it is now ncccsary to detassel one of the parents to prevent self-pollination.

"Mrs. Johnson, may I present Mr. Ford?" is one of the popular forms of introduction. A briefer form, commonly used is, "Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Ford." By empha- sizing the more important person's name, it can be made as clear as though the words, "May I present" had been used. Never say, "Miss Barnes meet Mr. Lee." Q.

The usual procedure is to separate married couples, but to permit an engaged couple to be seated together. Q.

How can I keep my mattress- es, pillows and blankets in a sani- tary condition? A.

This treatment will give them a fresh odor that is very pleasant upon retiring. Q. How can I curl feathers? A. Feathers can be curled by heating them before a fire, then stroking each one with the back of a knife blade. Q. How can I ascertain if dye is a "fast color"? A.

Give your car a "spring clean* ing": that includes chassis lubrica- tion, new grease in transmission and differential, re-packed wheel bearings, engine tune-up. * * * 2. When driving in hot climates, don't continually let air out of tires even though they build up a high pressure. If the car is allowed to stand a while, pressures will adjust themselves. The motorist who lets air out will find that cool nights will decrease pressure even further. « « • 3. If the radiator overheats and boils, simply stop the car till the temperature gauge drops to liiO deg. Then start the motor and add cool â€" not cold â€" water while the engine idles. In automatic-transmission cars, shift to neutral at each stop to avoid overworking and over- heating the engine. * » • 4. Because of low atmosphere pressure at high altitudes, persons planning prolonged mountain driv- ing might install high-altitude car- buretor jets which better adjust the oxygen-gasoline mixture. * • « 5 When parking in direct sun- light, keep one window and the cowl ventilator open. This allows air to circulate inside the car, cuts down the damaging effects of heat and humidity on car upholstery. * » * 6. For emergencies carry a tow- rope, a shovel, extra water and gas- oline.
